Hi,

currently man page for tar has this description for "-s"

_BEGIN_
     -s, --preserve-order, --same-order
           member arguments are listed in the same order as the
_END_


which does not look clear for me.

I suggest to change it to description from
http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/tar.html

_BEGIN_

‘--same-order’
‘--preserve-order’
‘-s’

This option is an optimization for tar when running on machines with small
amounts of memory. It informs tar that the list of file arguments has
already been sorted to match the order of files in the archive

_END_

Thanks
Tim
